Signature dishes and the iconic tasting menu
When dining at Haar, there are certain dishes you simply can't miss. Top of that list must be Dean’s signature oak-smoked St. Andrews Bay lobster with a rich mirin butter sauce. One of the seminal dishes that wowed the MasterChef judges back in 2018, and now you can enjoy it too.
Our ever-changing tasting menu will also be available, offering a taste of the finest Scottish ingredients available. You can expect to enjoy some iconic dishes like Loch Etive trout, Scottish lamb, Arbroath crab or North Sea cod. You can view a sample menu right here.
Don’t just take our word for it
Over the years, we have had some glowing reviews from our guests here at Haar.
“Had a most memorable meal at Haar. Top notch in every way. Started with a delicious cocktail, followed by “snacks made in front of us by the lovely Alex. Really enjoyed chatting to her about her dishes. Then on to the tasting menu all of which was delicious. Especially loved all the local produce, beautifully coked and presented. Thanks to all the staff who looked after us - they were a delight. Will definitely be back.”
“From the initial snacks at the chefs table, to the final spoonful of Nana’s banoffee the whole experience was simply divine! Lottie, our server, couldn’t have been any more polite and knowledgeable about every plate that was put in front of us. The paired wines lifted each course to another level. Kudos to the sommelier. The ambience of the restaurant compliments the food superbly. I can’t think of a better dining experience and it won’t be long before we’re back again. Superb, just superb!”

Sustainability practices
Since day one, we have always been committed to being as sustainable as possible. We ensure all our ingredients don’t have far to travel, sourcing as much as we can from Scottish suppliers. All the fishing boats we use practice the craft in the most sustainable way possible, avoiding fish farming and other less ethical means. Plus, the kitchen team will use every ingredient until they cannot possibly do so anymore. Take our sustainable butter, for example. This is often flavoured with the dehydrated ingredients that are used in stocks and sauces.
Making the most of your visit
St. Andrews is a beautiful town with plenty to offer. Before or after enjoying a meal at Haar, consider exploring the local area. From historic sites to scenic walks, there are many ways to enhance your Father’s Day celebration. We recommend a wander down to the West Sands beach or visiting the historic St. Andrews Cathedral. If pops is a fan of a round of golf, then you’re in the right place too.
